BEP announces new products

Mine came today. It is a Dallas sheet

Also received mine today.
One note on the sheet had six 8's. K88888284B

 

I see yours also ends with "B."

My most interesting serial is K88888321B

 

Okay, so we've got a K..B block. That's new. The images on the BEP's website were too small to tell whether the block was going to be K..A (already exists in circulation) or something else.

But I still need more information to try to work out the serial ranges for this special printing. What's the skip between serials on the sheet? And what are the plate positions--is it quadrant 1, 2, 3, or 4?

And did anyone get a sheet that's *not* K..B block?

 

The image I posted was not clear, so here is the info:

A1 through H1
skip looks like 1250
0821
2071
3321
4571
5821
7071
8321
9571

plate is A9 through H9

 

Great, thanks!

The skip of 1250 is interesting--in contrast, the 1995 $5 H8888... sheets used a skip of 1125.

And if the K..B sheets are from quadrant 1, then it looks like there are probably no K..A sheets. Quadrants 2, 3, and 4 might have been printed as K..C through K..E, or might have been printed for other districts. We'll have to wait and see what other blocks turn up; if the BEP sells the maximum 16,888 sheets, that'll be at least fourteen different blocks at 1250 sheets each--maybe more depending on spoilage rates.

 

The skip on my sheet is also 1250.
0784,2034,3284,4534,5784,7034,8284, and 9534.
Front plate #'s are A1 A11 through H1 H11.....back plates are all 18.

 

Difficult to tell how many are left because they appear to put a limit of 1000 sheets on ordering. I would think they had to sell at least 1250 by now.

I think I'll do what @SteveInTampa is planning, and go ahead and order another sheet sometime in December. Would be interesting if others post in here what they receive.

 

I wish I could join you guys on that, but I'm too strapped to buy one currently. I guess I'll have to get one at a later time on ebay or somewhere.
I hope everybody else posts theirs, though.

The most recent item I bought from the BEP was a 32-note sheet a few months ago. It's interesting figuring out all the different skips on a sheet. On mine, there are several different skips, but the last 4 digits are the same on every note.

 

My "dream" is to get a sheet from at each district and block. However, as Numbers has pointed it, that would be at least 14 sheets. The cost of acquiring 14 sheets would be over $800. Right now, I can still dream because there isn't enough information to do anything else. As more info comes to light on what the BEP has offered, then I can plan better.

These Lucky Money offerings tend to be pretty popular; even all 8,888 of the $100 notes sold out. I'd be willing to bet they sold more than 1250 of these already. If I see they have less than 1000 left, I'll order one more for sure.

 

2016 Year of the Monkey, forgot all about this one going on sale. Just ordered one off the bay for $12.99. Live and learn.

 

Now they're finally starting to appear on Ebay--I see sheets whose upper-left notes are K88880804B and K88880781B. You guys reported K88880784B and K88880821B.

It seems distinctly odd that all four of these sheets are within a span of just 40 serials! They have to have sold a lot more than that.... Maybe so far we're only seeing the very first batch of orders that shipped, or something?

 

What exactly is it?

 

With 88,888 available, I was surprised to see this was SOLD OUT in less than 2 weeks.

 

Ebay now has K88880111B, expanding the observed range to over 700 sheets. Still haven't seen anything other than K..B block, though.

 

Aha, here's a new block: K88880490D. Skip is again 1250 serials between positions. Pity the image quality is too poor to read the quadrant number.

 

Well I decided to get one of these and it arrived today. The numbers are;
Starting with the top left side of the sheet then moving to the right
K88880520C-K88885520C
K88881770C-K88886770C
K88883020C-K88888020C
K88884270C-K88889270C
All notes are signed by Rios-Geitner

On the bottom right side just above the 11 is very small letters FW A 11 thru FW H 11
On the Left side under the border lined up with the K seal moving down top to bottom of the sheet is a small A2, B2, C2, D2, Top side E2, F2, G2, H2
What does all of this mean?
It seems that the difference between numbers is 5000

Thanks for the information @BunkerTrapMan , but your "skip" is also 1250.
You go down to determine the skip, not across.

 

So, that's a B,C, and D block

 

Thank you for the knowledge. I freely admit that I know diddly squat about paper money except that I wish I had more of it.
